Keast Draws First Blood in KTM Canada Supermini West Championship

by Billy Rainford

From KTM Canada:

KTM Canada will award the East and West Champions a 2016 KTM Canada Orange Brigade Factory Support Ride that will consist of a 2016 KTM 85 SXS, a parts account for the 2016 season, and support for graphics and additional sponsors. Additional prizes for the top three finishers will be provided by Motovan and their supporting OEMs, Scott, Zox and OGIO.

Round 1 of the West Championship took place at Whispering Pines in Kamloops, BC this past Saturday. 24 riders lined up and went for it on the same track that played host to the first round of the Rockstar Energy MX Nationals the following day.

It was #21 Kelowna Yamaha Fox Brigade Yamaha rider Casey Keast who ran away with the first win of the 3-round series. Keast will miss this weekend as he competes at Washougal in Washington State in an attempt to make it to Loretta Lynn’s later this summer.
